Adjust brightness of Touch Bar

Is there a way to adjust the brightness of the Touch Bar in Big Sur? I find it very distracting and would like to dim it. Neither the keyboard brightness or display brightness affect it. I've customized the Touch Bar but can't find a way to adjust its brightness. I have the new M1 MBP 13. Thanks!

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.0
